Silversmiths at the time developed a simple basic form, where cutlery was forged from two separate parts: the handle and the bowl. To connect these two parts, a decorative element, known as a 'rat-tail' or 'flourish' (lofje), was added to the back.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 18th century, these flourishes were playfully integrated into table silver. This led to a design with a distinctive midline and a flourish on the front of the cutlery. This style became particularly popular among the nobility and affluent citizens of The Hague, which led to the name 'Haags Lofje'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutlery in the Haags Lofje style is characterized by refined, pointed spoon bowls, an elegant, slightly wider handle, classic curves, and the midline with a flourish at the end. This design reflects a piece of national history in a royal table service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis set consists of:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6x Table spoons\u003cbr\u003e6x Table knives\u003cbr\u003e6x Table forks\u003cbr\u003e6x Children's\/Coffee spoons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Van Kempen \u0026 Begeer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49184883769692,"sku":"CC004096-001","price":239.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/8898\/8586\/files\/Scherm_afbeelding2024-09-20om15.39.09.png?v=1726839557","url":"https:\/\/culicartel.com\/products\/bestekset-24-delig-haags-loofje","provider":"Braadbaas \/ Culicartel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
